--- Comment #6 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Manifests itself as regression now (see duplicate).  If C doesn't allow padding
between elements of an array then the C frontend has to adjust the element type
when building the array type.  At least we cannot leave the bogus alignment in
place.
